(a) To avoid cutting through cables, a gas company uses a device to detect their position before digging holes.
The magnetic field produced by the cable induces a voltage across the coil. This is registered on a meter
attached to the device. X Y
The device cannot detect cables that carry a steady direct current. Explain the reason for this.
